Shark Sonogram

They caught a pregnant tiger shark. Very pregnant. Luckily for her, these are not fishermen looking for shark steaks, but a crew from the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. So what do you do with a pregnant shark? Give her a sonogram!

The images of the shark pups inside are pretty cool. They recorded her, tagged her, and let her go, thinking that maybe they’ll find out where she will go to give birth. -via Metafilter

Nitrogen, argon, and various inhaled anesthetics can be used to euthanize a sick bird, but the method we use is C02 in a chamber. The CO2 does not cause distress and is the preferred, recommended method. The AVMA has approved the CO2 method as the most humane, also we are in compliance with AAHA.
